Since we are telling Dyno stories about old carbs under the bench:

Truck PRO STOCK Engine on the dyno (Team was very competitive in the class).

Owner spends $X,XXX for each (two) of the latest and greatest PRO STOCK carbs from a well known carb builder who charged a lot for his stuff in that time frame.

Dyno test was run and engine made XXXX Horsepower.

Owner of team said do we have any other carbs to compare the testing to.

Dyno Owner said I have a pair of old CHUCK GULLEDGE (HOLLEY ENGINEER) carb under the bench. So theyblew the dust off of them and ran them on the engine.

The old Carbs made more hp vs the Brand New EXPENSIVE Hot Chit carbs.

So I believe your story about a Q-Jet that could be 3 seconds faster vs a POS carb with no tuning. I have seen super stock guys with old beat up carbs that they would not sell for any money.

Just Saying.

Technically, makes me think about the textures on the old used carbs: throttle plate edges, venturi erosions, jet erosions, fuel seat erosions, etc.

just maybe some "emulsion flow" & "wet flow" matters of fact are hidden in texture detail.
